You may use one semester of Federal Direct Stafford Loan eligibility and combine this with other scholarships, grants and loans to meet your costs associated with the study abroad program.

If a student is taking less than 6 hours during any term of enrollment or not in a degree orcertificate program, he or she will not be eligible for federal direct loans. If you have unused loan eligibility for either the fall or spring semester, you may want to talk with our Financial Aid Office to see if you can borrow additional funds to offset the added cost of Winter term.

Please be aware of the deposit requirements for the study abroad programs and when payments are due. Loan proceeds may be used to cover these deposits; however the loan disbursements are typically not available prior to deposit deadlines.
